Can you make a statue from an old photograph?
Usually yes, and often from a single picture. What matters is not how old or how sharp it is, but how much of the face you can actually see.

Pieces that show real people or known characters are fan art: they are not made, licensed or endorsed by those people or by any rights-holder.
PLA is the usual choice for statues: it gives the cleanest surface detail of any filament we run, which matters most on a face. For pieces that will live outdoors or in a conservatory we print in ASA instead, since PLA softens in heat and degrades under UV. If your statue is going on a sunny windowsill, tell us and we will pick accordingly.

Usually yes, and often from a single picture. What matters is not how old or how sharp it is, but how much of the face you can actually see.

Eight photographs, ten minutes and a phone. What to shoot, what to avoid, and why the lighting matters more than the camera.

Enough for the piece to be unmistakably someone. Not enough to read a wristwatch. Here is where the line falls, and why it moves with size.
Send us a few photos and tell us the occasion. We will come back with a size, a price and a preview.
